Windows 10: New External Drive not visible in "This PC"

New External Drive not visible in "This PC"

My new external Toshiba drive (Disk 1) does not show up under "This PC." The drive is connected with a USB3.0 cable to a USB 3.1 port on the pc. I can see it in the Taskbar via the icon that I turned on (Safely Remove HArdware). I can see the drive also in the Device Manager. I also can eject the drive, because I see it in the taskbar under the Safely Remove Hardware icon.

I did this: run the Hardware and Device Troubleshooter or the Windows USB Troubleshooter and check if it helps. It did not help.Next, I followed some online advice and I initialized the drive. Because it's a 5TG drive I chose GPT. not MBR.

I do not see a formatting option. Supposedly, in Computer Mangement, if I right-click on the disk I can choose to format. I don't see that option.Please advise me how to make my new drive show up in This PC.

If it matters, the drive is a Toshiba X300 5TB.

I apologize for all my questions, but I am new to the pc world.

The picture below is only to demonstrate that I do not see the option to format the drive.
